an idea to guess if files / dirs are in / output

[bernt-matthias]

Just a simple minded idea to distinguish input and output files and directories.

Could be realized by subclasses as well if preferred.

Btw. the regular expressions like bool(ean)?, in(put)?, and out(put)? could be simplified by removing the optional part?

Looks great! As you say, could you do this in one place either by adding a new parent class or a mixin? Secondly, could you add a simple test for this? I don't currently have a single place that I test the type inference, so I'd be happy for you to add a new top level test file, e.g. test/test_type_inference.py, and in there you can just add some simple unittests for infer_type() that tests your new features.

hooray .. tests are passing finally :)

This is ready from my side. I added the functionality that in the fallback case the string is checked if there are numbers (int/float) and return CliInteger/CliFloat.

I guess we should merge #25 first and rebase this PR afterwards.

Okay I've merged it, feel free to pull master in this branch.

Hmm, you've resolved a few comments that you haven't actually changed yet in the code. Did you forget to push some changes?

Any chance you could finish this PR @bernt-matthias? I think we got really close to it being done. If you don't have time I can try, but it might take a little to get my head around it.

I have a bit of time this week. Then I'm offline for one more week. What's left to do?

[multimeric]

Hmm, good point. I could have sworn there was something left to do, but the issues are resolved and all the tests are passing so maybe not? I'll double check.

[multimeric]

Some minor suggestions but overall I think this looks good.

Perfect, thanks for this!
